ITALIAN GIARDINIERA

Italian Giardiniera can be served as a
small salad or spread on grinders, subs, hoagies, heroes, or muffuletta
sandwiches. This is so easy to make and so very delicious! Golden Peperoncini can be found in a jar in
your super market near the olives and pickles.To save time, there is also Deli-Sliced Golden
Peperoncini.

1 small head cauliflower

1 medium onion

4 medium carrots, peeled

4 stalks celery

2 red bell peppers, stems and seeds removed

2 green bell peppers, stems and seeds removed

1 12 oz jar Golden Peperoncini or
Deli-Sliced Golden Peperoncini

1 12 oz jar pimento-stuffed green
olives

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 T freeze-dried or dried oregano

1 t red pepper flakes

1 ½ cups white vinegar

½ cup extra-virgin olive oil

2 t sea salt

2 t ground black pepper

Using a large cutting board, cut the core off
of the cauliflower, remove the florets, cut or break into small pieces, and
transfer to a large bowl.

Dice of the onions, celery, red bell peppers,
green bell peppers, and transfer to the large bowl.

Pour the juice of the jar of peperoncini into
the bowl.

Cut off the stems and chop the peperoncini, (if
using the whole Golden Peperoncini) then transfer to the bowl.

About Me

I self-published my first cookbook and I am very proud to say it was printed in the United States! Every recipe has a photo and they were not photo shopped and a stylist was not used. The food was real and I took the photos before the food was served.

When I tasted the "Sunday Gravy" prepared by my husband's mother, grandmother, and even his great grandmother, "Big Mamma"—I was hooked. Teresa Lapetina and Vincenzio Greco sailed to America from Naples in 1898.They were from the small town of Picerno in the province of Potenza in the southern region of Basilicata. They have all departed us now. . .ora sono la mamma!
